Rashard Mendenhall has been lost for the playoffs, but Max Starks isn't worried about a drop-off in the running game as the Steelers prepare for a wild-card game in Denver.

Consider what the Steelers left tackle heard about Isaac Redman during a 13-9 win at Cleveland two days ago.
"At one point, the Browns were arguing about who was going to tackle him because they couldn't get him down," Starks said Monday. "He's a tremendous downhill rusher."............

Just squeeze the football and hold on tight. 2 fumbles will get the defense looking for more.

Yea, that's the only thing that worries me. This team has just been brutal with the turnovers since the Super Bowl last year.

Turnovers are the only way I see the Steelers blowing this game. Handing the Broncos the ball is exactly what we don't need on any part of the field. Make 0 mistakes and I don't care who is running the ball we will win.

Yep. They've been WAY too charitable with the turnovers. Needs to stop now.

i am kinda excited to see what the young man can do! We will get to see if he is better or the same as mendy, but clay kinda gets the juicy going as well he has that steeler RB look about him

Everyone loves the "backup" until they become the starter. Redman is a decent rb but he is not as good as Mendenhall. Redman's style does fit playoff football though. I think we will be fine without Mendenhall. Has there been any news on the injured DBs?
